Sabines Gull

News that a Sabines Gull was heading east through the patch this lunchtime had me hot-footing it down to the seafront at Overstrand and after a short while of scanning I picked it up lingering offshore although somewhat distant. It then noticed an adult Kittiwake on the sea and flew over to join it before they both headed off west some 15 minutes later.
 
It was a really smart adult and still in summer plumage, and despite it being a fair way out I managed to get an ok record shot of it.
